Wheel House - Let's Do Trivia - 16 November 2023

Hey Trivia Faithful, 

Adam Coming to you while prepping meals for the big Thanksgiving dinner that will keep us apart next Thursday. That's right, sadly James will not be opening the Wheelhouse for trivia next week. We will all be back together on Thursday, November 30th.

At the end of the first half Wheel Deal Sex Appeal and Your Mom Dear Watson were tied for first place after getting all 8 points from the Halftime Bonus and sitting with 44 points each. QUIZMO'S Irish Wristwatch were in second place with 39 points.

Going into the final, Wheel Deal Sex Appeal had an 11-point lead over second place QUIZMO'S Irish Wristwatch.

Teams were pretty divided over getting the final question correct or incorrect. The teams that did know the correct order made some huge jumps up the leaderboard to cause a tie for second place between Just the Two of Us and Four Non Blondes. Just the Two of Us were the closest to correct answer for the tiebreaker earning them $10 Wheelhouse cash. Wheel Deal Sex Appeal did not provide the correct answer and wagered 10 points to finish first with....... 69 points. nice

That of course means that when we play our next match on November 30th, the top prize will be $80 Wheelhouse Cash.

Here are your final standings:

9th: Hoppy Endings

8th: As Is Tradition

7th: QUIZMO'S Irish Wristwatch

6th: Double Doctors

5th: G-Unit

4th: Your Mom Dear Watson

3rd: Four Non Blondes

2nd: Just The Two of US

1st: Wheel Deal Sex Appeal

Earn an extra $10 if you win first prize AND at least one member of your team arrives before 6pm. Listen for that song title or artist answer to the setlist between 6pm and 6:30pm.

For a 3-point bonus next week, draw your favorite Thanksgiving dish.

Everyone have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

Best,


Adam

Wheel House - Let's Do Trivia - 15 May 2025

Happy new week trivia players, Have you taken a look in the night's sky recently? How's that Moon looking? If you didn't join us last week at the Wheelhouse for Let's do Trivia, you probably have no idea what I am talking about. But if you were in attendance, you know I'm referring to our big theme revolving around our Lunar friend. That's right, many questions dealing with the Moon (and some people with the surname Moon) were giving players a run for their money. Completely unplanned, the Moon theme fit as last Thursday was our first time of the season with the tent taken down. We had great weather for it. The crowd was light-ish with 27 players on 10 teams playing for the top prizes of $40 Wheelhouse Cash for first place and our second place prize of $10 Wheel House cash . Some of the questions with the Moon theme came easy to teams, others well... not so much. We saw a lower scoring first half and then we saw a brutal second half. Round five was tough fo...

Wheel House - Let's Do Trivia - 1 May 2025

Hello trivia brothers and sisters ! Let's go through our weekly recap of this past Thursday's Let's Do Trivia match at The Wheelhouse Beer Garden . It was a great crowd of 37 players on 10 teams playing for the top prizes of $50 Wheelhouse Cash for first place and our second place prize of $10 Wheel House cash . We had a big theme to most of the questions. We were asking about things to do with siblings, brothers, and sisters. Just like the previous week, this match saw lower scoring than normal in our first half of the game. Coming out of halftime, Raven Lunatics held first place with 35 points.   Wino Combo and Wheel Deal Sex Appeal were tied for second place with 34 points. Dare I say the second half got slightly easier? Points were still dropped but I believe every team got at least a 6 pointer correct in each round. Entering the final question , Wheel Deal Sex Appeal held the top spot with 69 (nice) points. Wino Combo were right behind them with 67 points. ...

Wheel House - Let's Do Trivia - 17 July 2025

Good day week Trivia teams, Let's do a quick look back to last Thursday night's Let's Do Trivia match at the Wheelhouse.  47 players on 9 teams joined us to beat the heat and beat other teams for the top prizes of $50 Wheelhouse Cash for first place and $10 Wheel House cash for second  place. There wasn't a larger theme throughout the match, but some questions did have an Australian touch to them. There were also a few Bee Gees related questions, even though I would contend they are not Australian and only spent a part of their career down under.  As is usual, most teams had a successful first half of the match. After our Bee Gees halftime question, we had many point totals that were close together in our rankings.  My Personal Favorites  led with 42 points. Followed as closely as you can get was  Why So Serious with 41 points. Wino Combo  was in third place with 39 points. Like I always say though, every team top to bottom still were in playgoing into the se...
